Fade Forward

A Fade Forward is an accrual-based forward, whereby an amount of the notional (a unit) is accrued on each day that the fixing is above / below a pre-specified Fade Rate. There is an additional boost factor on this product whereby two units are accrued on an OTM fixing so as to further improve the strike rate.
